Remember how we spent
everyday after school
talking through those movies
which nobody cared for?
Or the times when we would
laugh joyfully out loud
in a room full of strangers
ignoring the glares?
How every two weeks
we'd sleep over at your house
because mine was too violent
and you accepted that?
How every time we had a special event
you would cheer for me happily
because my parents never came
but you were always there?
I wonder what happened
to the good times?
You told me we would be
"Best friends forever"
Promised you would love me
through the thick and the thin
And I swore that you were lying
since I've never been that loved
but for the first time
I placed my trust in you
Out of the eternal beauty of forever
you only lasted twelve years
before you turned on me
and threw my trust away
And I never got the chance to ask
what the hell was wrong
before you laughed at me
and left me in the dark
And it's your fault, y'know?
I can't trust anyone
Even my closest of friends
It hurts that bad
Twelve years of loving
of giving to you
and now I feel so horribly
alone
I was taught by my family
I couldn't trust blood
I was taught by society
I couldn't trust the world
And at first I thought I had someone
to finally accept me
but I was taught by you
I'm alone
What did I ever do to you..?

I have to agree that is was great how you used the different examples to describe how you couldnt trust your family or society, I like the whole overall image to it and feeling, I could just feel how hurt you were with those words what a great piece!

Oh my God. I feel like I'm doing exactly what was done to you to the person I wrote about in my poem. GOD. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? I don't care what she does to me. I love her like no one else. I don't mean dating, that's so damn shallow. She's my friend. I don't care if she's not the person I thought she was. Maybe she still is. I'm too fucking stupid to tell. What the hell is wrong with me? I've been murdered by her, but I knew the risk when after befriended her and started to know her, like the story about the girl who tries to save the snake's life. To girl saves the snake, but she gets bit dies. I want to save the snake. My life is pointless, she is wonderful.
Thank you! You saved me. I don't know if I'll ever feel the same about her, but I need to be there for her no matter what it costs me. -
Wow that is an amazing poem! You put so much emotion in it. And the ending was awesome. Loved how you said how different things had taught you not to trust family and the world. This poem is typically of what friends do to you! I love it! Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest!
